MORAVIAN’S CHRIS JACOUBS NAMED TO D3FOOTBALL.COM TEAM OF THE WEEK

STERLING, VA --- Sophomore tailback Chris Jacoubs (Fair Haven, NJ/Rumson-Fair Haven HS) of the Moravian College football team has been named to the D3football.com Team of the Week for his performances Saturday in Moravian’s 27-20 victory at Lebanon Valley College.

Jacoubs, who was named the MAC and ECAC Southeast Offensive Player o the Week for the second consecutive week, had his second straight 200-plus yard rushing afternoon with 257 yards on 36 carries and three touchdowns in Moravian’s victory at Lebanon Valley. Jacoubs, who had touchdown runs of 53, four and eight yards, also caught a 16-yard touchdown pass to account for all four Greyhounds touchdowns in the game. Jacoubs, who was also named a Co-National Offensive Player of the Week by Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette, had a chance to tie the school record of five touchdowns in a game when he scampered into the end zone with 14 seconds remaining in the third quarter, but a holding penalty nullified the score.

Jacoubs, who moved into ninth all-time at Moravian with 1,663 yards in just 13 career games, also owns the school record for a single game with 319 yards at Albright College last November. Jacoubs has three of the top five games in school history and has run for more than 100 yards in six of his nine career starts. In just three games this season, Jacoubs has run for 612 yards on 91 carries with seven touchdowns.

Moravian, which is 3-0 overall and in the MAC, is slated to return to action on Saturday, October 2nd in another MAC game versus King’s College at Steel Field in Bethlehem. Kickoff is slated for 1:00 p.m.
